On Friday the 3rd and Saturday the 4th, performances will start at 5pm at Palazzo Trinci, among the town’s most historically and artistically renowned palaces, located in the main square. From 11 pm onwards, on both nights, the spotlight will be on Serendipity, the avant-garde club situated nearby in the town's industrial area.

The 2015 Dancity Open Call will be hosted in the enchanting 2nd floor of Palazzo Candiotti. Also on Sunday the 5th, a very prestigious location as Cantina “Scacciadiavoli” of Montefalco will be the set of the Festival's closing performances. And Multiverso Coworking will once again be the special area for children's activities. Jeff Mills, one of Festival headliners Jeff Mills, one of the most brilliant techno DJs and producers in the world, will be among the Festival headliners. He is the most recognized representative figure of Detroit Techno, the city where he began his career as a DJ on the WDRQ radio in 1984. He created with “Mad Mike Banks” the collective “Underground Resistance”, which became a reference in the electro sphere. In 1992, Jeff Mills created his own label “Axis”, to keep his artistic independence and produce his own timeless electronic music compositions, inspired by science fiction. While DJing worldwide, on average 100 gigs per year, Jeff Mills’s artistic career goes much further than techno music. For over a decade, he’s been transcending art forms through several collaborations in contemporary art. Interested in cinema and attracted by images, Jeff Mills started working on the fusion of image and sound in the year 2000, when he created and presented a new soundtrack for “Metropolis” by Fritz Lang at the Centre Pompidou. The following year he created “Mono”, an installation inspired by the movie “2001, a Space Odyssey”, by Stanley Kubrick. In 2004, Jeff Mills produced the DVD “Exhibitionist” which presents DJ sets filmed from various angles (from the front, top and side). In that same period, he acquired a new tool, the DVJ-X, which allowed him to manipulate image and sound together paving the way into the Art World. In 2005, Jeff Mills made, for MK2, a new soundtrack for the silent movie “Three Ages” by Buster Keaton, and created a series of 6 video art works presented in Paris at the Galerie Georges-Philippe et Nathalie Vallois and at the “rendez- vous vidéo” of the Musée des Beaux-Arts in Rouen. Jeff Mills continued this work period with a production on Josephine Baker, presented during the FIAC 2005 in the Grand Palais. On July 2nd 2005, Jeff Mills played with the Philharmonic Orchestra of Montpellier, for the 20th anniversary of the Pont du Gard’s inclusion in the world heritage list by UNESCO. Along with the orchestra, Jeff Mills performed his own compositions, orchestrated by Thomas Roussel for this occasion. In 2007, he was invited by director Claire Denis to create the sound environment of the exhibition “Diaspora” at the Musée du Quai Branly in Paris. That same year, Jeff Mills received the title of “Chevalier des Arts et des Lettres” from the French ministry of Culture. In 2008, Jeff Mills was commissioned to create a contemporary installation for the 100th Anniversary of the Futurist Manifesto again at the Centre Pompidou. At the Sonar Festival in Barcelona, Jeff Mills and “Mad Mike Banks” were together again for an epic performance called “X-102, Rediscovers the Rings of Ass. Cult. Dancity Via Monte S. Gabriele, 1306034 Foligno (PG) Italy Ph +39 366 41 63 764 / +39 346 32 80 770 Saturn”, mixing video and music. Always busy, Jeff Mills is currently involved in numerous projects, including several film soundtracks in collaboration with Cinematheque and Cité de la Musique in Paris. Underground Resistance back in Italy after ten years Underground Resistance are returning to Italy after 10 years with their project called “Timeline”, on Saturday, July 4th, in the beautiful courtyard of Palazzo Trinci. There’s a musical chain running from the past through the present and into the future. The links in that chain, what holds things together, is the Timeline. High tech jazz for forward thinking music lovers, Timeline has taken on many forms, most recently as the linking of Underground Resistance founder Mad Mike with Jon Dixon, keyboardist, and De’Sean Jones, saxophonist, both from the supergroup Galaxy 2 Galaxy. Joined by UR DJ/producer Mark Flash, these four take elements of jazz and techno and combine them into something familiar, yet different. Once upon a time, jazz was the definition of innovation, dominating the dance clubs and opening people’s minds to infinite possibilities. It is in that spirit that Timeline continues the push forever forward! Cabaret Voltaire announce a new date at Dancity Festival Following on from successful performances at Berlin Atonal on August 2014, Lev Festival (Gijón) on Northern Spain and Villette Sonique in Paris on may 2015, Cabaret Voltaire announce a new date at the Dancity Festival in Foligno, Italy, on the 3rd of July. With a line up now consisting solely of machines, multi-screen projections and Richard H Kirk, the live show will feature exclusively new material and no nostalgia. Post-punk pioneers Cabaret Voltaire has been at the electronic movement forefront since the 1970s. Their electronic music varies from post-punk to avant-garde to dance. The audio-visual performance at Dancity Festival, with the closing set by Italian DJ Vincenzo Viceversa, promises to be something relevant to Cabaret Voltaire in the 21st Century. The closing event, presented by Red Bull Music Academy The festival’s last day will be presented by Red Bull Music Academy, which has been Dancity's partner for many years now cooperating in special events. For this tenth edition, RBMA will sponsor the festival's closing event, that will take place on Sunday, July 5, from 3 pm at a special, exclusive location: Scacciadiavoli Winery in Montefalco, just a short drive from Foligno. The winery, deep in the green Umbrian hills and surrounded by the prestigious Sagrantino and Montefalco Rosso vineyard rows, will host performances as well as cocktails and wine tastings. Sunday's very special guest will be the legendary Roy Ayers, a key figure in acid jazz, known for the genre’s contaminations with hip-hop and funk. This will be Ayer's sole live show in Italy, with a unique performance encompassing voice, vibraphone and other instruments. The American DJ/producer duo Soul Clap will also perform on day 3, with their experimental mixture of house, disco, funk and jazz references, as well as Jolly Mare, one of the Academy’s best talents, who will embark on a musical journey approaching different nuances of the dancefloor, such as Italo Disco, downtempo and funk-tinged synthpop.

    ICA Press release: 26 May 2016 Detroit: Techno City 27 July – 25 September 2016 ICA Fox Reading Room Preview 26 July Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit (1988). Courtesy Neil Rushton and 10 Records LTD The next ICA Fox Reading Room exhibition will present a studied look at the evolution and subsequent dispersion of ‘Detroit Techno music’. This term, coined in the late 1980s, reflects the musical and social influences that informed early experiments merging sounds of synth-pop and disco with funk to create this distinct music genre. For the first time in the UK, a dedicated exhibition will chart a timeline of ‘Detroit Techno music’ from its 1970s origins, continuing through to the early 1990s. The genre’s origins begin in the disco parties of Ken Collier with influence from local radio stations and DJs, such as Electrifying Mojo and The Wizard (aka Jeff Mills). The ICA’s exhibition explores how a generation was inspired to create a new kind of electronic music that was evidenced in the formative UK compilation: Techno! The New Dance Sound of Detroit. Using inexpensive analogue technology, such as the Roland TR 808 and 909, DJs and producers including Juan Atkins, Blake Baxter, Eddie Fowlkes, Derrick May, and Kevin Saunderson, formed this seminal music genre. Although the music failed to gain mainstream audiences in the U.S, it became a phenomenon in Europe. This success established Detroit Techno, as a new strand of music which absorbed exterior European tastes and influences. This introduced a second wave of DJs and producers to the sound including Carl Craig, Richie Hawtin and Kenny Larkin.

  • 320+ Halloween Songs and Albums
    320+ Halloween Songs and Albums Over 320 Songs for Halloween Theme Rides in Your Indoor Cycling Classes Compiled by Jennifer Sage, updated October 2014 Halloween presents a unique opportunity for some really fun musically themed classes—the variety is only limited by your imagination. Songs can include spooky, dark, or classic-but-cheesy Halloween tunes (such as Monster Mash). Or you can imagine the wide variety of costumes and use those themes. I’ve included a few common themes such as Sci-Fi and Spy Thriller in my list. Over the years I’ve gotten many of these song suggestions from various online forums, other instructors, and by simply searching online music sources for “Halloween”, “James Bond”, “Witch”, “Ghost” and other key words. This is my most comprehensive list to date. If you have more song ideas, please email them to me so I can continually update this list for future versions. [email protected]. This year’s playlist contains 50 new specific song suggestions and numerous new album suggestions. I’ve included a lot more from the “darkwave” and “gothic” genres. I’ve added “Sugar/Candy” as its own theme. Sources: It’s impossible to list multiple sources for every song but to speed the process up for you, we list at least one source so you don’t spend hours searching for these songs. As with music itself, you have your own preference for downloading sources, so you may want to check there first. Also, some countries may not have the same music available due to music rights.

  • Allegories of Afrofuturism in Jeff Mills and Janelle Monaé
    Vessels of Transfer: Allegories of Afrofuturism in Jeff Mills and Janelle Monáe Feature Article tobias c. van Veen McGill University Abstract The performances, music, and subjectivities of Detroit techno producer Jeff Mills—radio turntablist The Wizard, space-and-time traveller The Messenger, founding member of Detroit techno outfit Underground Resistance and head of Axis Records—and Janelle Monáe—android #57821, Cindi Mayweather, denizen and “cyber slavegirl” of Metropolis—are infused with the black Atlantic imaginary of Afrofuturism. We might understand Mills and Monáe as disseminating, in the words of Paul Gilroy, an Afrofuturist “cultural broadcast” that feeds “a new metaphysics of blackness” enacted “within the underground, alternative, public spaces constituted around an expressive culture . dominated by music” (Gilroy 1993: 83). Yet what precisely is meant by “blackness”—the black Atlantic of Gilroy’s Afrodiasporic cultural network—in a context that is Afrofuturist? At stake is the role of allegory and its infrastructure: does Afrofuturism, and its incarnates, “represent” blackness? Or does it tend toward an unhinging of allegory, in which the coordinates of blackness, but also those of linear temporality and terrestial subjectivity, are transformed through becoming? Keywords: Afrofuturism, Afrodiaspora, becoming, identity, representation, race, android, alien, Detroit techno, Janelle Monáe tobias c. van Veen is a writer, sound-artist, technology arts curator and turntablist. Since 1993 he has organised interventions, publications, gatherings, exhibitions and broadcasts around technoculture, working with MUTEK, STEIM, Eyebeam, the New Forms Festival, CiTR, Kunstradio and as Concept Engineer and founder of the UpgradeMTL at the Society for Arts and Technology (SAT).

  • Detroit Version US
    Extract From GLOBAL TEKNO 1.0 Jean-Yves Leloup, Jean-Philippe Renoult, Pierre Emanuel Rastoin (US-English translation by Black Sifichi) Detroit, summer 1998 by Jean-Philippe Renoult There are no charter planes to Detroit and certainly no direct flight from Paris. When we give our destination to the customs officer who carries out the usual formalities at the stop over in Philadelphia, he bursts out laughing: - What, why the hell are you going to Detroit? - Well... to take landscape pictures. - Good luck, you will need it! It’s a fact, Detroit Michigan is not listed in the tour operators schedule but it is certainly present on the world map of contemporary electronic music. In the uncomfortable plane, which finally takes us there, we go over and over the story which ravers and techno heads repeat like a founding myth. After Kraftwerk, who blended with one unique rhythm Stockhausen and Pop music, followed a black trinity who gave birth to the sound of techno. It developed here, on the polluted edges of Lake Huron. The three founders are Juan Atkins, Derrick May, Kevin Saunderson. All three, born respectively in 1962, 1963 and 1964, instilled a black, funky and sensual groove into one of the first purely technological dance music. An essential mutation, which Derrick May sums up in a quote, which has remained well-known: « Our music is the meeting in one and the same elevator of George Clinton and Kraftwerk. It is the mirror image of Detroit: a complete error. » Of all our destinations, Detroit was the most anachronistic but also the most fundamental.

  • Detroit Techno and Dystopian Digital Culture
    Hooked on an Affect: Detroit Techno and Dystopian Digital Culture Feature Article Richard Pope Ryerson University Abstract Detroit techno is typically historicized as having grown out of the late 1970s and early 1980s middle-class, consumerist, and aspirational high school social party scene, giving the impression that Detroit techno artists created forward-thinking music as a means to acquire subcultural capital and (re)produce their identities. In this essay, this position is nuanced for a more complex understanding of techno’s relation to the quotidian phenomenological encounter with the dystopian setting of Detroit. Concomitantly, predominant theorizations of affect within the humanities, which emphasize the utopian, hopeful dimensions of affect’s inherent productivity, are supplemented for an understanding of productive energy revolving around affects of dystopia and on a certain hopelessness which scholars, in the years ahead, will increasingly have to negotiate. Keywords: techno, Detroit, dystopia, affect, aesthetic, desire, subculture Richard Pope is a Postdoctoral Fellow at Ryerson University. His recent work examines the dystopian horizon of contemporary capitalism and popular culture. He has published previously in Camera Obscura, Space and Culture, Film-Philosophy, and Cinema Journal (forthcoming). Dancecult: Journal of Electronic Dance Music Culture 2 (1): 24–44 ISSN 1947-5403 ©2011 Dancecult http://dj.dancecult.net DOI 10.12801/1947-5403.2011.02.01.02 Pope | Hooked on an Affect 25 Without sounding too new-agey or metaphysical, I think that Detroit, the actual “location of Detroit, is the instigator behind everything. —Jason Huvaere (in Sicko 2010: 92) It’s the emptiness in the city that puts the wholeness in the music.

  • Tony Allen & Jeff Mills
    Tony Allen & Jeff Mills Start time: 8.00pm Running time: 90 mins no interval Please note all timings are approximate and subject to change Chal Ravens explores the backstory to techno legend Jeff Mills and iconic drummer Tony Allen’s collaboration ahead of their performance Jeff Mills and Tony Allen are two masters of rhythm from very different musical worlds. As a pioneer of Detroit techno – tough, minimal, yet infused with the fluidity of jazz and funk – Mills helped establish the drum machine as one of the most familiar musical building blocks of the past 30 years. And as the architect of Fela Kuti’s hypnotising grooves, Allen has been the life-force of Afrobeat since the 1960s, an endlessly innovative drummer whose influence spreads through hip-hop, new wave, punk rock and beyond. Allen and Mills came together in 2016 in Paris, the city where both now live. For their first rehearsal, Mills brought his Roland TR-909 drum machine over to Allen’s studio to see if their idiosyncratic styles could find common ground. The encounter turned out to be much more than a casual jam session – instead, it was the beginning of a tentative, two- handed interaction that has continued to evolve with every performance. ‘Everything [Allen] does is part of a conversation,’ Mills said in 2017, recalling their first meeting, ‘once I knew that, then I knew how I could meet him halfway.’ For most drummers of course, collaboration is inevitable. Like Allen, Mills has frequently worked with ensembles, from jazz-fusion quartet Spiral Deluxe to the Montpelier Philharmonic Orchestra.
